    Two Lowry phantom fouls. . . but I guess that is the Rocket's fault too

    We have issues closing out.

    Lowry is an elite level flopper.

    Don't know what's more interesting - the fact that Harden only has 3 shot attempts or that he's only on pace for 12 points.

    On the road, defending champ's building, and beating them by 8 at halftime. Didn't expect that.

    Bad last minute of basketball though. Not everyday you get whistled for an offensive foul after the other team hits their second free throw, allowing them an easy bucket 3 seconds later. Sigh. And I was so happy to see the lead in double digits too.

    I saw right after and reposted heh, what a flop.

    Toronto getting ALL their flop calls... questionable delay of game... questionable goaltending. Rockets never get home cooking like this BS. I'm glad we've shot well... but now its single digits because refs buying Raptor BS.

    Complete collapse? Lol all Rockets did was get called for BS fouls on Raptor flops while TOR made some shots. I'd love to be up more, but not a complete collapse by any means.

    I smell an 0-27 half coming up if they keep doubling Harden like this, Somehow james has got to find a way to get moving quicker so he can attack and start scoring more easily

    Raptors cut the lead in half. Likely will tie it in the 3rd.

    Raptors are forcing us to not iso. We're moving the ball and involving the whole team on offense and so far it's worked to our advantage. Shows we aren't just a one dimensional team.

    He wasn't this much of a bit*h when he was here, was he?

    I blame Vlade Divac for this sort of thing infecting the association.

    If Harden is going to be doubled immediately, Westbrook should not be at the top of the key. Put BMAC there so he can shoot. Put Russ in the corner for an easier closer shot, or in case BMAC decides to drive, an alley if someone comes up to contest a BMAC drive.

    Not sure why MDA leaves Russ to do the worst possible stuff for his game.
